The iHeartRadio Music Festival is officially in the books for 2025, complete with unforgettable performances from Tate McRae, Ed Sheeran and more.

Taking place across back-to-back nights starting Friday (Sept. 19), this year’s event brought some of the biggest names in music together at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In addition to McRae, the first day of the festival featured explosive live showcases from LL Cool J, Bryan Adams, Justice, Sammy Hagar, Diplo, BigXthaPlug and Bailey Zimmerman. Jelly Roll also brought the house down with covers of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa’s “Young, Wild & Free,” and Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” while Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine performed a gorgeous acoustic rendition of “She Will Be Loved.”

On Saturday (Sept. 20), the concert continued with performances from The Offspring, John Fogerty, Tim McGraw and Mariah Carey, who took the audience on a trip through some of her biggest hits, including “Always Be My Baby” and “Obsessed.” Fresh off the release of his new album Play, Sheeran performed tracks such as “Shivers,” “Azizam,” “Perfect” and “Shape of You,” after which GloRilla closed out the whole event with performances of “Blessed,” “TGIF,” “Yeah Glo!” and more of her fan-favorites.

The festival comes six months after the annual iHeartRadio Music Awards, which saw Benson Boone, Gracie Abrams and Billie Eilish take home big awards. For those who missed the festival, a special featuring highlights from the two-day extravaganza is coming to Hulu on Oct. 2.
